There was a movie about birds...not sure if you heard about it... Audubon has unleashed a birdwatching game on the Internet called Birding The Net.
Ornithologist claims to have developed an app called WeBird which will allow you to record bird song with a smart phone and id them for you. I am dubious.
Awesome series of photos of a gull eating a starfish (warning...this does not end well for the starfish).
